About me

Hello and congratulations to the second step in taking care of you!

My hope and intention is to be of assistance to those who are open to change and healing. We all go through experiences that may leave residual hurts, lingering pain, confusion or even a need for re-discovery. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 14 years of experience and have an eclectic style in my approach to therapy. I work to help those gain insight, stimulate change and create new connections while being a witness and support throughout their journey.

My specialties include Anxiety, Functional Depression, Trauma, Personal Growth & Life Changes. I have experience working with those who struggle with (but not limited to): various mental health disorders such as depression, anxiety & post traumatic stress, sexual violence, trauma, abuse, coping with life stressors, grief & loss, and relationship issues.

I have worked with individuals, families and couples, professionally and voluntarily, in providing various modalities of therapy facilitated on a local and international level. The variety of techniques I provide are as follows: Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Play Therapy, Sandplay Therapy, Art Therapy, Faith-based Spirituality, Motivational Interviewing and the Gottman Level I method all which are directed by the needs and goals established by the client.

Take a step, jump and dive right into your own success in progress. Looking forward to being a part of your journey to wellness.

One last thing, if you were wondering what the first step was. Well, it was your decision to face your concerns and ask for help. Keep it up, you got this!

Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Onessa Robertson. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.

She’s has been a huge help for me in my life and how I deal with situations at work, with family and within myself. Ever since I started with her I had greater peace of mind. I have been able to deal with my problems. Which I had a hard time doing before. She makes my life better and makes me a better person towards myself and others as well and how I deal with conflict.

Therapist Onessa Robertson, on this date,

Was strategic, patient and understanding on what I was ever so trying to portray and she gave me time on my explanation.

Give me examples reasoning, and thought on what I should do next.

Very interested on keeping in close relations with her expertise.

Respectfully, thank you

Onessa has truly been an amazing resource to help me navigate hard life situations. I appreciate that she is also a black woman so there’s a level of understanding that is without explanation. I feel safe to be vulnerable and myself with her. I am extremely grateful for this resource and platform.
